Pugh was also joined by her ex-boyfriend, actor Zach Braff, 47, who directed her in the new movie.

The actress was all smiles as she posed for photos with her family and was seen giving her grandmother a kiss on the forehead.

A Good Person is written, directed and produced by Braff, and also stars Morgan Freeman, Molly Shannon, Chinaza Uche and Celeste O'Connor. The film follows Allison (Pugh), a woman struggling with addiction and grief who forms a bond with her would-be father-in-law (Freeman).

Braff told Entertainment Tonight that he wrote the film for Pugh.

"I'm just in awe of her talent and I said, 'I wanna write this for Florence. What I'm writing is really gonna be challenging and she's incredible," he said.

Pugh said Braff writing the film for her was "a luxury," as he knows her so well.

"He knows my body of work. He knows who I am. He knows my sense of humor. He wrote it truly with me on every page and, obviously, with Allison on every page, and I came and breathed life into her," she said.
